The buttons are more readable than the old tabs stile.

Clicking on the new button Panel Cluster the new Panel Cluster window will be shown.

The new 'Panel Cluster' window

Before using the new Panel Cluster window, you need to connect in the usual way a DX Cluster node, using the pages for the TCP or radio Cluster interface.
Then click the Panel Cluster button and the new window will be shown.

As the DX Spots are coming in, each DX Spot will be shown as a panel. Each panel may show one or more DX Spot data (in the case of multiple DXSpot received for the same DX Call).

The Time to live is the time elapsed after which, the oldest DX Panels are hidden.

Setting a Time to live for example of 5 minutes, each DX Panel that become older that 5 minutes, will be hidden.
This option is useful to show only a frame time for the DX Spots. During a contest, in which each station is continuously moving around the bands, it is a good idea to set few minutes. During non contest times, the time could be set to higher (for example 20 minutes).
